CAVI Lemma: BF hydria. From Pescia Romana. Unattributed{1}. Mid-sixth (CVA).
CAVI Subject: Shoulder: Heracles and the Lion. Body: warrior and charioteer in a chariot.
CAVI Inscriptions: Body: above the horses' backs, at a distance from the humans:
Ορ[ρ]ι̣π[π]ος{2}. Below this inscription, but starting further to left (not
stoich. and not correlated with it as a two-liner): Ανχιπ[π]ος. Under the
horses' bellies: Πεγαδας, retr.{3}. To horses' right, not facing them:
Κ̣αλ[λ]ικ̣ομ̣ε, retr.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} i.e., not in Beazley. CVA attributes to the Zürich Painter (see ABV 92).
{2} a break passes through between the rho and iota. {3} so CVA, text. The photo
does not show a clear gamma; the letter is near a break and could be a tau. But
Kretschmer also reads Πηγαδας. {4} the dotted letters are incomplete but
certain.
CAVI Comments: = inv. 1853. Anchippos is found also on Louvre F 53, Group E, signed Exekias
as potter, ABV 260/30. Two human and two horse names. Orrippos should be the
charioteer. Kretschmer derives Πηγαδας from πηγος `compact, strong' and compares
Pegasos (which is not derived from πηγη).
